Guest guest Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 He is refering to negative bodyweight, to induce more acceleration in a jump, not resistance (which is a great idea though!) So to accomplish this the bands need to be attached to something overhead. The devise has to create lift from above not below. I've personally never heard of this method being used before but it sounds logical. Overspeed builds faster sprinter and since this is a similar event one would think gains could be expected. I have the facilities to do some experimenting with these ideas and will keep those who wish informed! Mark Sias,B.S.

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 Hi Diane, I'm not sure how to show the overspeed more clearly, the rubber cords would force the body to respond more quickly than normal while jumping. Of course this would only be a part of a training program, but as a research topic I think it is interesting. Using the cords as you describe is fairly popular. But just brainstorming, I wonder if you could use a very heavy cord first to try for the " potentiation effect " , maybe even combine the overspeed bungee jump immediately after.
